It is OCBIN's policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.

Like most website operators, OCBIN collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. OCBIN's purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how OCBIN's visitors use its website. From time to time, OCBIN may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

OCBIN also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments. OCBIN only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that blog commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.

Certain visitors to OCBIN's websites choose to interact with OCBIN in ways that require OCBIN to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that OCBIN gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up for sketchbook.cafe to provide a username and email address. OCBIN collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor's interaction with OCBIN. OCBIN does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. Visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

OCBIN may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, OCBIN may monitor the most popular threads on sketchbook.cafe. OCBIN may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, OCBIN does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

OCBIN discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on OCBIN's behalf or to provide services available at OCBIN's websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using OCBIN's websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. OCBIN will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, OCBIN discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when OCBIN believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of OCBIN, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of a OCBIN website and have supplied your email address, OCBIN may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what's going on with OCBIN and our products. We primarily use our various product blogs to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. OCBIN takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor's computer, and that the visitor's browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. OCBIN uses cookies to help OCBIN identify and track visitors, their usage of OCBIN website, and their website access preferences. OCBIN visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using OCBIN's websites, with the drawback that certain features of OCBIN's websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

If OCBIN, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, or in the unlikely event that OCBIN goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of OCBIN may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.

Ads appearing on any of our websites may be delivered to users by advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by OCBIN and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

Although most changes are likely to be minor, OCBIN may change its Privacy Policy from time to time, and in OCBIN's sole discretion. OCBIN encourages visitors to frequently check this page for any changes to its Privacy Policy. If you have a sketchbook.cafe account, you should also check your account's dashboard for alerts to these changes. Your continued use of this site after any change in this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of such change.
